Although he was on a hill and William's horses couldn't get through the marsh, Hastings took place down south of England, and Harold had just fought harald hadrada and the vikings in the north, and he had to march his men down south. Another reason is William tricked Harald by pretending to run away, Harold's army would chase them, and they turned around and slaughtered them. This happened twice with equal success!!!
1) Harold had less troops than William
2)Harold and his men had marched non-stop from north to south.
hope it helps! :) x
he was rubbish
Harold Godwinson and Harald Hardrada, fought in the Stamford bridge battle. Then Harold then had to walk all the way south of the country, until he got to the battle of hastings place. ( i don't no where it was fought, i think it was in hastings ) Harold had lost most of his well trained men and was really tired from walking all that way so he was tired for the battle of hastings. So supposedly, that's 2 of the reasons he lost.
Harold Hardraada didn't fight in the battle of Hastings Harold Godwinson did.
King Harold was not ready at the start of the battle of Hastings because a few days before it he fought in the battle of Stamford Bridge so his men were tired and injured and they had no time to rest because Harold started to make his way to Hastings as soon as he heard that William had arrived. This was foolish of him because his men were not fit to fight yet
Harold was quite drunk on the night of the battle, and he defantely could have used a Berroca. Harold was quite drunk on the night of the battle, and he defantely could have used a Berroca.
